ON THE ORIGINAL LAYOUT OF THE ICONS IN THE ICONOSTASIS OF ST. ANDREW’S CHURCH
Abstract
The article explores the question of the layout of the icons in the iconostasis of St. Andrew’s Church of the mid-18th century. According to their iconographic subjects, they are located in certain ranks. Today’s location of the icons, in particular of the Feast row, does not predetermined by the liturgical church year or the chronology of evangelical events. Till now such a voluntary placement of the icons had no clear interpretation. However, the study of the photo materials of the early 20th century with the views of the interior of St. Andrew’s Church suggests that the placement of the icons was different. The purpose of this work is to reconstruct the authentic iconographic program of the Feast row in the iconostasis of St. Andrew’s Church.
Key words: iconostasis of St. Andrew’s Church, icons of the Feast row, scheme of the icons’ layout, photography of the church interior.
